SELF-PUBLISH
When you are ready to work with your contest winners and runner's-up to design a book, you can certainly choose to print a simple booklet at your library or the local printing office. However, it will not have the finished look you can get for very little money by hiring a company that specializes in printing books for self-published authors. For a few hundred dollars you can produce a book worthy of standing on the shelves of your library or any bookstore.
Publishing houses that work with self-published authors offer a variety of services including consultation, cover design, interior layout, ISBN numbers, copyright, promotional materials, and much more.
Black & white interior text is far less expensive to produce
than a full color interior.
